Guys, I had this same problem when I put on my Tein SS Coilovers and it was when I was almost completely stopped while braking there would be this sort of "scrape, scrape, scrape" sound.
All I did was take a wrench to the three bolts that mount the strut assembly to the chassis and tighten them very well, since there was a very slight amount of looseness to them. Fixed it right up, and never heard it again. I think the strut was able to pull back and forth ever so slightly when the brakes applied any kind of force to it so tightening everything up again fixed it.

However if its a droning buzzing sound that you hear while driving constantly and gets louder and faster as you accelerate, then its probably a wheel bearing that needs to be replaced. If you hear popping wile cornering from the front end, then you have a bad CV joint.

Hope that helps....definately check the top of the struts again like I did, especially if you noticed it after putting on some sort of suspension upgrade where you loosened everything up. Might just be it, or might be something completely unrelated like one of the other conditions previously mentioned.
